I believe it is sailboats though how big can they get? I would love to visit Ireland from St. John’s then bicycle and ride the train around the emerald island.

      Sorry, it wasn’t meant to be sarcastic, I just thought it was a funny, if silly, solution to the problem you’d presented. I think that route has actually been done in the past, so I didn’t think it was too far out of line.

      In answer to your question about sailing the Atlantic and the boat sizes needed, it looks like a cruising yacht culd do it in somewhere between 15-30 days, so you wouldn’t need a particularly large ship, but you’d definitely want an experienced crew.

      People need these sorts of craft moved across the ocean every so often (when they’re being delivered to their new owners for example), so if you trained as a crew member you might be able to get a berth on a trip like that, arguably reducing your footprint even more.

      Once again, my appologies for the way my previous post came across, if was not meant like that.

      Look up Karl Bushby or the Goliath expedition. He’s been working on walking around the world since the 90s and is nearly done with it. The Bering strait route is one he used on foot. Apparently it took a long time to get through Russia though, so if you plan to travel there you’d better have friends in high places, lol.
